Sorry for the radio silence, but I’ve been busy with the holiday stuff: cooking, shopping, working, and kidnapping and decapitating Jesus babies out of creches. So spend time with your families, spend a little money and keep a retail monkey in their job for a little while longer, obsess over Rick Warren or Caroline Kennedy, or whatever makes your yuletide log burn a little brighter.
I’ll be back later with tidings of comfort and joy (comfort and joy!) from Rancho Tbogg Estates for your Christmas Eve pleasure.

Yesterday was Festivus, tomorrow is Christmas, Hannukah started a few days ago; Eid is on, Kwanzaa, too — what’s a poor Pastafarian to do with all this seasonal hubbub?
All the best holiday wishes to all the tbogglings big and small; when the last package is opened and the yule log is all gone, yours is the gift that keeps on giving.
Will there be appropriately accessorized basset blogging on Christmas Day?
Happy holidays to all at the TBogg estancia.
And in case you haven’t see this yet, here’s a link to today’s column from Gene Lyons in the Democrat-Arkansas-Gazette:

Festivus! Festivus! a holiday for the rest of us!
I learned you may now purchase Festivus poles because it wouldn’t be a legitimate holiday unless it was commercialized. Or, you may recycle a hat stand for the same purpose. Or your May pole from the merry month of May.
just sharin’ with y’all. Ok. bye now.
One shopping day left until Holiday! gtg!
Is it me, or does it look like Santa is chasing a double shot of Jack Daniels with that Coke?
for hours and hours of holiday music that won’t make your teeth hurt (but might help you shake your booty) check out http://krupsjustsayin.blogspot…..eller.html and http://krupsjustsayin.blogspot…..upmas.html
merry crimble tboggers…
Ahhhh, Festivus. Unfortunately, we have already started the airing of the grievances at the Hatmandu family gathering, but my “special” eggnog has rendered me oblivious. Merry, merry to everybody!
Flying Spaghetti Monster bless us, every one.
Put on the Pirate gear, fire up the Beer Volcano and celebrate his Noodly Appendage!
Best eggnog recipe evah came from the worst X-mas of my effin’ life: The one I spent with The BF Known as The Late Great Unpleasantness and the Almost Once and Future MIL. Fill a punchbowl with 2 or 3 half gallons of high quality eggnogg. Stir in a half pint each of Bacardi gold and brandy. Add a half gallon brick of the richest French vanilla ice cream in christendom.
That was the year “Uncle John” got stopped by the hwy. patrol for “erratic” driving. When he blew a 2.5, the cop exclaimed “Holy sh*t! According to this, you should be dead!” Uncle John looked him dead in the eye and said: “I always suspected those damn things were unreliable.” The cop didn’t even bother ticketing him.
I’ll be back later with tidings of comfort and joy …

Merry Christmas to all the TBogg family — Mrs. TBogg, the L&T Casey, and the doggies. Thanks for giving me something to look forward to almost every day.
oops, I’m an idiot! To TBogg AND the family!!!!
Glad to call myself a friend of the TBogg Clan, and thank you for the merriment every day.
Not many make me laugh each day; you are one who does. That’s special. Thanks!
All love and Christmas blessings to you, TBogg, the madcap and magnificent Mrs. TBogg, the L&TC, and all the bassets.
I’ll be singing chunks of the Messiah tonight while suppressing the urge of my lungs to send chunks of themselves hurling over the chancel.
Oh, and “The Carol of the Drum,” better known as “The Fuckin’ Little Drummer Boy,” or, “The Little Fuckin’ Drummer Boy,” take your fuckin’ pick. I’m sorry, but this is a children’s choir song. There is no fuckin’ way grown-ups are supposed to sing “puddly-pum” for four minutes.
At least it’s not the fuckin’ “Carol of the Bells,” which will someday cause me to go on a killing spree. When I found out that song was Ukranian in origin, I was very sad, because I know both of the Ukranian-American women in Nashville, and they’re very dear to me, and I don’t want to have to kill them at the start of my killing spree, but I wouldn’t do that, because they’re both very cool, and they aren’t the ones who have beaten the shit out of that poor song in every commercial and every mall, and they haven’t done those horrible arrangements where it gets so fast that you just go, “Aggghhvgighekdcklfgh!”
Merry Christmas, everybody!
Happy holidays to all of you….whatever you’re celebrating this time of year. Hug your family close.
T,
Have you seen Aimee Mann’s Christmas Carol (parts 1-4)?
Golden!

Happy Solstice everyone and remember every day is 5 more seconds as the planet tilts on its axis we will have more sun and longer days for 6 months.
Love and Peace Stay strong!
Every Christian is Paising god on the highest..Suzanne is singing in the rain like Gene Kelly
whatever you are celebrating, bigbrother, have a good one.
check out this fun thread on Hot Air, in which the wings go crazy because somebody appeared (to them) to write a negative review of “It’s A Wonderful Life”. http://hotair.com/archives/200…../#comments . Kathy Shaidle gives the minority report and gets ripped for it.
The tide has turned, the light will come again.
Christmas always makes me feel like decking someone, but with temps into the balmy 20’s today in MN, I think I can get thru the day deck-free.
Merry Christmas to all the Tboggs with my best wishes in the New Year: from the two cats in the barn, and the feral one I feed and the indside one, and the deer that sleep around my house, just outside my backdoor, amazingly. Development abounds. Thank you to you and all your commenters.
